Few people know what they mean when they say, I love you. ... Well, what does the word love mean? It means total interest. I think the reason very few people really fall in love with anyone is they're not willing to pay the price. The price is you have to adjust yourself to them.

And that was the only reason now, in a sense, not to do television. Because it certainly is a method of expression, which has to be accepted as these things come along.
Katharine Hepburn
Afraid of death? Not at all. Be a great relief. Then I wouldn't have to talk to you.
Katharine Hepburn
It's a new low for actresses when you have to wonder what is between her ears instead of her legs.
Katharine Hepburn
Don't give in! Make your own trail. Don't moan. Don't complain. Think positively.
